About Patricia

My aunt didn't have any family except me to take care of her. After she died, I decided to do the same work. So many of the elderly need help and want to continue to live in their own homes. I feel it's a calling from God. Also, I love listening to their life stories about their lifes. That I'm still doing this type of work after 15 years at my age which is 71. I'm dependable which u will find out from my references. Can be called for fill ins when someone can't make it.
